We have always wanted to do a Mediterranean cruise & this one sounded perfect. The ports of call were amazing. The experience on the ship surpassed out expectations. The food was amazing. We were able to try new food & we had different flavors of gelato every day. We enjoy the wine being included. After a long day of excursions the spa was wonderful. We only went to a few of the entertainment shows, but some people said they were very good. The crew members were pleasant & helpful. The enrichment lectures were esp interesting. My complaint would be that sometimes the included tours were not possible to take as they conflicted with optional tours & some optional tours got booked up before we could sign up. All the tour guides were very good. Also a couple of the gals at guest services were not esp helpful but the head of guest services was very nice & helpful. The ship was nicely set up & we liked the smaller number of guest. It was super clean. Our room was comfortable & super clean as well. Viking knows how to spoil it's guest. I can not imagine anyone being unhappy with this cruise.
